Hey I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and I have with me a couple of different shorty antenna options for 79-09 Mustang, available in your choice of either black, or chrome. Let’s face it, the factory antenna is a major eyesore and it certainly doesn’t do your exterior styling any favors. At nearly 30” in length, it begs the question, did Ford secretly install a CB radio in my Mustang that I’m not aware of? Well, with these new shorty antennas in 8 and 14” lengths, you can finally rid your Mustang of that goofy factory piece, once and for all. Besides the two different length options, the shorty antenna is also available in your choice of a low key satin black finish, or a more flashy chrome finish. Despite being only a third of the size of the factory antenna, you shouldn’t notice any difference in your radio reception, which should hopefully alleviate any concerns you may have. Besides looking great, the shorty antenna literally installs in a matter of minutes, you simply unscrew your factory antenna, then screw the new shorty in its place, as far as working on your car goes, it doesn’t get much easier than this. While you’re in the area of the antenna, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to freshen up that stock antenna base cover, using one of these aftermarket covers available in your choice of either chrome or satin. This extremely affordable part really compliments that shorty antenna, and its another one of those nice little dress up items to add to your ride. So if you’re tired of seeing that ski pole attached to your front fender that Ford calls an antenna, then you have to check out one of these different shorty options available right here at AmericanMuscle.com

Sleek 8" Design. Ditch that ugly 29" eyesore Ford calls an antenna, and replace it with a sleek 8" Shorty SpeedForm chrome antenna available from AmericanMuscle. Without the skyscraping 29" stock antenna, your Mustang will look much cleaner and eye-catching, for all the right reasons.

Excellent Radio

Reception. If you live in an area with a strong radio reception, there's no difference in the quality of the radio reception. If you are in an area with a poor radio signal, the radio reception may be affected. All you're losing is 21" of unsightly steel from the front of your car.

Designed to fit easily under a car cover. You will never have to worry about damaging your antenna or having to take it off every time you put your cover on. This low profile SpeedForm antenna will fit right under your car cover.

Quality Build and Finish. The SpeedForm antenna comes in a sleek polished chrome finish that is both scratch and weather resistant. It includes brass fittings and is manufactured from high-grade steel. The antenna fits like an OEM part, but gives you that sporty aftermarket look.

Easy Install. Modding your car doesn't get any easier than this. Simply unscrew your old antenna and screw in the new SpeedForm one. It can be installed in under five minutes.

Application. This SpeedForm Chrome 8" Antenna is designed to fit all 2005 to 2009 Ford Mustangs including the V6, GT, Bullitt, and Shelby GT500 models.

Nice touch!

I bought this to replace the really big and ugly factory antenna....this antenna is sleek and sophisticated looking on my 2005 mustang. Its a cheap fix that completely changes the look of the front end ...
of your stang! The radio quality is also the same as the factory antenna if you are wondering. I highly recommend this product.

Does this Antenna come with a chrome base? I am kind of into the chrome look and wanting to put more of it on my car. I was looking at the video and noticed that he mentioned a chrome or satin base. I was looking around the website and couldn't find it. So does it come with or do I need to look a little harder?

The base is actually for the 2005-2009 Mustangs unfortunately. We don't currently carry a base for the 94-04 year range.

Its a separate piece. Should be under Exterior, then antennas! Hope this helps.

My experience was similar to several reviewers in that the threading of this item was poor and I had to file down the threaded end in order to install the antenna. I should not have to make alterations in order to make a simple part like this fit. Also, once installed the antenna will not screw down to a stop making me wonder if it will fly off some day and kill someone. Other than that the antenna is much better looking than the black whip Ford installed at the factory, but I am not happy with the poor quality of this aftermarket item. They need to test fit their pieces before packing them for sale.

I THOUGHT I COULD JUST UNSCREW OLD ANTENNA AND SCREW IN NEW,,NOT THE CASE!!I ALSO HAD TO FILE DOWN THE TIP OF THREAD DUE TO THE END BEING FLAT AND WIDER THE STOCK.OVER ALL THE ANTENNA LOOKS GREAT,BUT I SHOULD'NT HAVE TO ALTER ANTENNA TO MAKE IT FIT FOR TWENTEY FIVE BUCKS!!

This antenna is a must for your stang! It looks so much better than the stock antenna. I asked my Dad to install, it took him a minute, all you need is a wrench. I LOVE AM!!!! Great price & HOTT look!!!!! What more can you ask for!! I can't keep my eyes off my stang and her new little chrome antenna!!!

Really dressed up my 96 red Mustang, only reason it didnt get full 5 is because at certain times when I am driving I completely lose reception on 2 of the stations and others fade out a bit. I live in Pa in the mountains so it may have something to do with it but I am thinking about switching to the 14 inch chrome.

I had purchased the the short black antenna to go with the rest of the look I wanted for my 2006 pony, but it bent easily and rusted so I went with the new chrome version. It looks great, but not quite what I really wanted. Hope it last longer than the previous one

Very satisfied with this antenna, finally got rid of the stupid fishing pole ford liked so much. No problems with it, doesn't wiggle around in the wind, looks great. I did not like the chrome base for the antenna that you have to purchase seperate. It was bent on delivery and does not cover the entire base. It literally looks like it was cut by a cheap machine.
Recommend the antenna, NOT THE CHROME BASE

I bought this product because i got tired of the shaking factory antenna and because im going with a "chrome look" on my car. Because this antenna is only 8 inches long, it doesnt shake, fits snug, and shines great! Thanks AM!

Took some time to get use to the short look of the antenna,i was so used to looking at my stock one ,but i really like it now ,the car should have just come with it in the first place,i did get the chrome one and it looks great .love it.thanks again american muscle.

Looks much bettet than the horrible stock antenna. Dont know what Ford was thinking when they put that on the car. Lucky us Ford guys have AM for these great aftermarket products. Overall its smaller but gets the same range as the old fishing pole before haha. Very nice.

Word on The Street

These guys are great! Customer service is absolutely top notch. Their pricing points are spot on and every month they offer some sort of special on multiple parts. Not only that but the staff will educate you on the parts and their customer reveiw option of every part has been a huge help in determining the validity of each part you buy. American Muscle is the perfect example of what a full service parts distributer and custom tuning shop should be. I'm just glad they are Mustang exclusive!

I was a customer first - 7 years ago I came in to buy parts, got in an argument with someone about a part, and won. I left with my parts and a new job and I've been here ever since. I knew when I came to work at AmericanMuscle, bleeding Ford blue blood, I was finally home and this was my spot. Wh...
